Title: [GUIDE] DOS Recorder
Post by: skarczew on March 30, 2012, 15:34

1. Download.

Web page here:

• http://dosrecorder.sourceforge.net/

Direct download here:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosrecorder/files/latest/download?source=files

2. Install.

• Create target folder, for example "D:\Program Files\Dos Recorder"
• Unpack all the content of downloaded file

An example in attachment - check out the first screenshot.

3. Download some recorded run.

For example available here:

• http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,5496.0.html
• http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,5446.0.html

4. Associate the *.dm2 file with DOS Recorder player.

• RMB (Right Mouse Button :P ) on *.dm2 file -> Properties
• On "General" tab click the "Change" button next to "Opens with:"
• "Choose the program you want to use to open this file:". Windows probably does not know DOS Recorder, so you need to click "Browse..." and navigate to the player manually

If you unpacked the archive to "D:\Program Files\Dos Recorder", the player will be in "D:\Program Files\Dos Recorder\Player\Win32" (check out second screenshot)

• Click "Open"->"OK"->"Apply"->"OK"

5. Test it.

Now everything should work - just doubleclick the downloaded *.dm2 file.

I think most people will use fraps or bandicam now that it's gone graphical, though. :P

Sure, if you have money (or if you stole those apps).
And plenty of disc space.
And not sucky PC.
Go ahead.

Still, there are high-end players that are using DOS Recorder - and it is worth watching them.

Or my personal favourite for windowed stuffs - Camstudio.

Great for windowed recording...should do sounds as well, although I've yet to fully test it on my new computer where I can actually do sounds and my mic at the same time.
